All of the great whiskey brands started out with humble but promising beginnings. Small shots with big dreams. Little flames that refuse to die just like these whiskey brands. Denver’s whiskey industry is no stranger to this. For the past 10 years or so, Denver has seen a steady rise of micro-breweries and distilleries in the city making excellent handcraft brews in small batches.
Social Scene would like you to meet some of the world’s greatest, internationally-acclaimed whiskey brands in the future, today. Here are the eight best whiskey brands in Denver to date.
A.D. Laws Four Grain Straight Bourbon
There are no shortcuts to creating this flagship whiskey from Laws Whiskey House. That is why it is no wonder why it is one of the top whiskey brands in Denver.
This straight bourbon is crafted from the four “American mother grains” of corn, wheat, barley, and rye. Authentic and 100% pure Denver Colorado made, this whiskey has an orange blossom aroma with notes of black tea, honey, and dusty pepper. And on the palate are flavors of pekoe tea, orange peel, cinnamon, and vanilla custard with hints of sweet tobacco and spice leading to a rich, dry finish. Want to try more?

Produced in small batches at this whiskey lover’s promise land, this single malt whiskey from Stranahan’s is said to be the number one American single malt whiskey in the US. With each barrel uniquely imparting its own characteristics into the final product, each batch of this premium whiskey always embodies the unique character, flavor and style of the original Stranahan’s whiskey with hints of caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate and fresh-sawn oak.
